“…Tessmer et al 25 also suggest that the scope of this topic should be expanded to all students, given not only the fact that they are potential donors, but also the influence that their profession can offer, featuring the graduate as a model that could reflect positively in the society, contributing to increase the number of effective donors. This suggestion was motivated by the 33% decline in intention to donate organs when the word "death" was replaced by "brain death" in his study, which was conducted among 485 students of the city of Pelotas in Rio Grande do Sul, showing that the lack of knowledge about brain death impacts negatively the decision to donate, which is also shown in many studies 18,19,27 on the population knowledge about the term "brain death", confirming the need for proper training of professionals in this segment to settle the doubts of the public at large.…”

A major conflict reported by the nurses in our study concerns withdrawing therapeutic support for non-donor patients with a diagnosis of brain death.…”

(4)(5)(6)8) Nurses perceived religion, lack of communication, and scarcity of human and material resources as situations that could interfere in the process of organs donation.…”
